Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to feminist retellings of classical myth and want to hear Aphrodite speak for herself rather than through ancient male writers.
You follow witchy, spiritual poetry on Instagram and TikTok and appreciate short, punchy verses that hit different each time you read them.
You're working through heartbreak or trauma and need reminding that you get to decide what your love story means, not the people who wronged you.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward classical mythology without modern feminist reinterpretation or spiritual language woven through the narrative.
You want longer, narrative-driven poetry collections with traditional structure rather than short, fragmented pieces meant to be savoured alone.
You're looking for escapism rather than introspection. These poems ask you to sit with difficult feelings about desire, control, and healing.

About this book

Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a poetry collection by Trista Mateer that approaches mythology through a witchcraft-inspired lens rather than traditional interpretation. The collection begins with a dream and reinterprets myth from Aphrodite's perspective, blending mythology retelling with healing manifesto. Structured as a conversation with alternating sections from the poet's and goddess's viewpoints, the collection explores love in its romantic, platonic, and self-directed forms. It addresses themes including heartbreak, sexuality, trauma, and the power of reclaiming one's own narrative. The poems examine taking control of your story, speaking your truths, and rewriting your origin story. This collection of short poems was voted one of the best poetry collections of 2019 by Goodreads readers. Mateer is a Goodreads Choice Award-winning poet whose work has appeared on Instagram and TikTok.
